Starting on June 15th, I will cycle from Land’s End to John O’Groats. Taking 9 days, I will cover approx 980 miles on my own.

I’ve decided to do this in aid of Sport In Mind, a charity that helps transform the lives and mental health of children and adults through the power of sport.

As few of you know, the last 6 months have been an an extremely heavy battle with my mental health. I have felt like I’ve been just surviving for the last 6 months, and not living. It’s easily been the toughest period of my life so far, being at war with my demons, one I’ve at times didn’t think I’d win.

I will continue to battle through this and have never been more determined to get through the other side of it, but know the support that is needed to even get to that stage. A charity like Sport In Mind need all the support they can get to help those individuals that currently may not see any way out.

Cycling has always been a release for me and for the past 6 months, I’ve neglected my bike and chosen unhealthy habits. That’s why I’m going into 2024 with all the motivation to finish this challenge and do my bit for a charity that does so much good!
